Jacket Tutorial, part 4 - Back Body

Sew the side back body panel (piece H) to the center back body panel (piece I).

Press seam allowances open.



Repeat for the other side. 

Sew the two back assemblies together at the center back. 

Press seam allowances open. 



The remainder of the back assembly construction is more or less the same as the front, but we'll walk you through it here. 

Sew or baste the seam allowances open about ½" from the top edge.



Using your zipper/piping foot, sew the back yoke to the back body assembly, right sides together and with ¾" seam allowance, matching body seam lines to the appropriate quilt lines.



Press the yoke/body seam allowances upward.



Remove bulk by cutting out a ½" (or so) square of the yoke/body seam allowances at the armscyes.



From the right side, using your quilting/walking foot, topstitch through all layers ⅛" above the yoke/body seam line to secure the yoke/body seam allowances.



Pin and sew an appropriate length of ⅛" gold/black piping to the back in the same manner as done previously with the front.



Using your gold metallic thread and the appropriate needle, attach an appropriate length of the ½" gold braid/naval lace to the back in the same manner as with the front.



When finished, apply a liberal amount of liquid fray preventer to the raw edges of the trims.
